\n \"Mmm... No time to waste, let’s just jump straight to what you need in a film editing laptop and what you don’t. Or you could scroll to the bottom of this guide and see what are the best laptops for film editing that I’d recommend.\n<\/p>\n

\n Here we go!\n<\/p>\n

Requirements for a Film Editing laptop<\/h2>\n

Processing Power<\/span><\/h3>\n

\n Processor is the cornerstone of a film editing laptop<\/strong>. If there’s one thing you get out of this guide – make sure you’re getting a high-end processor<\/strong>. Unlike RAM or storage – you will not be able to change it. So make sure you’re getting one that will be up-to-date for the next 3 years or more. The good news is that processors are not getting that much faster year-to-year. I know, it doesn’t sound good, but in a way – it is. That means, that if you get a top of the line CPU this year – it still will be a good processor for years to come.\n<\/p>\n

Xeon and ECC memory<\/h4>\n

\n If you have an unlimited budget – you can buy a laptop with Xeon processor and Error Correcting Memory support. ECC memory self-corrects to prevent errors in memory. It can be useful for looong renders during crunch time. But at the very cheapest, a laptop with a mobile Xeon CPU (Xeon E3-1505M) costs ~$1,700. But usually, a well-rounded laptop with Intel Xeon processor costs ~$2,500.\n<\/p>\n
